In the midst of a seven-game winning streak, the Houston Rockets are proving to be a major force in the NBA. While the pairing of superstars James Harden and Russell Westbrook was heavily questioned throughout the offseason, the early answer appears to be that the duo can make things work.
Russell Westbrook is averaging 21 points, 8 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game and has been able to rest on occasion without Houston missing a beat. His ability to push the ball in any situation has added a new dimension to what was already a dynamic offense.
